If the intent is for the user to carry over the changes to the new branch then recommending "git checkout -m" might be more convenient rather than having to stash, checkout and unstash as three separate steps.
Something seems to have gone awry with your branch as there are other patches in this series. You should rebase your branch onto the upstream master branch with
git rebase --onto origin/master HEAD^
and then when you push it double check how many commits there are in the summary of the pull request before submitting.
Thanks
